There may be dedicated servers in some other parts of the world. You just don't play there.

Oh, and they look exactly like a "server-hosted" lobby, basically, nobody is host, server does the job. It helps keeping lags smaller, but there are no admins. So its partially true they could have dedicated servers even now, except you won't know about it.

From what i know... It's a mix between deidcated and peer to peer. WHat it does is it chooses the one that best suits your connection and goes from there. I could be wrong, but that's just what i've been reading.

They didn't promise a server browser, did they?

There isn't any dedicated servers around the in or around the UK area.

I am sick and tired of the blatant lies that companies like this get away with.

They promised a smooth experience but it's anything but smooth unless you set it to the very lowest possible resolution and the lowest possible detail setting.

They promised the best looking Call Of Duty game to date, but it looks marginally better than Call Of Duty World At War.

They promised dedicated servers would be used but I am always getting disconnected from host messages, or having to wait for the host to finish loading the game before I can select my loadout.

Heard Ghosts will have proper dedicated servers, so I bought it. Found out the hard way dedicated servers doesn't mean "dedicated servers with a server browser". To me if there is no dedicated server browser, there are no dedicated servers. I also believe dedi should be customize-able to some extent, like, editing map rotation list, editing goal, editing time limit, max players count. Those 4 parameters are a minimum for me. But Ghosts will certainly not get these 4, the best we can hope for are dedicated hosting lobbies with better connection.

We may never see those. See how message changed? From "Hoping to add server browser and rent-able ranked server" to "No one ever said there would be rentable dedicated servers. Not sure where you got that." Said by the same person. Wishlist could also include "becoming the richest man on Earth, ever".

They might not be a lie - just a blatant spin of the truth that suckered me into buying this piece of crap. You MAY get put onto a dedicated server match, but you would never know it. It would just be another fail of a match-made choice of players, albeit maybe it would run a bit smoother. I thought dedicated servers meant my clan could pay to run our own server and keep it hacker free. Nope - of course IW wouldn't allow us to play to run a server that we could keep hacker free ourselves. I have no idea why they don't do that. It seems like a fairly simple thing that would draw many more people into the game.

Quite simple: PC is not priority. If they manage to push dedicated servers and server browser onto next-gen consoles, they will also put it on PC. Otherwise, PC won't get any "extra" features compared to consoles.

Not exactly. There was no mention on how dedicated servers would work - would they use server browser or would they use lobby system. Now, how do you use a lobby system with a rent-able dedicated server? Thats right, you don't. You don't get to decide where to connect to, so they're incompatible (whats the point of having a rented dedicated server if you're still going to play a p2p lobby elsewhere?). Basically, we were shown a wishlist and took it for granted, and misunderstood it.

Its all marketing. They didn't actually plan to release dedicated servers and server browser right at the release. My bet is with first DLC - when the interest to the game drops.

I wouldn't be surprised if clan wars were running on dedicated servers (let me rephrase: if they aren't, this is the worst kind of approach we'll ever see from anyone thinking they're making a respectable tournament).Other than that I heard there are dedis in US running already, but I have no confirmation on this, so I guess it was just wishful thinking.I also read in twitter that they had plans to launch rentable dedis a while after launch, probably, with DLCs.

IW just twisted the truth. They said they are HOPING for dedi servers. They did not say there WOULD(guaranteed) be dedi servers w/ server browser. Basically, they didn't lie, just made it very difficult to understand.

What ever happened to the good ol days of "people doing what they say"

If we get a free and rent-able dedicated servers and admin capabilities a lot of smoke would clear around here because the flames would die down. It really burns me up when a games with potential fall short due to lack-luster support. I believe it's ok to want to make money but you have to have some integrity too. If you stay with the latter the prior will follow without a doubt.

I'm beyond disappointed and disgusted with this game. A group of six of my friends (including myself) cannot even play together due to this NAT type server issue non-sense. Then on the off chance after jumping from trying one person as the leader to the next for half an hour to an hour FINALLY one of us is capable of hosting (in no way shape or form is this not peer to peer hosting) and then we're against hacks like tonight that cream us to the ground in a match of 79 kills, 3 deaths for almost every member of the opposing team. Will there ever be anything done against hackers like this to keep the honest people? The fans that have actually followed COD from the get go. Or are we just being taken advantage of for our wallet hoping that their big name will keep us coming back for more?

They have also deactivated and banned my previous accounts where I said this would happen. NICE ONE, Classy.

So now I get game matches where the others have up to 2 whole seconds of LAG ADVANTAGE on me (Moscow players, E Coast USA players and Me, in UK, in the same server? WHAT ARE THE DEVELOPERS SMOKING???) and it is basically UNPLAYABLE.

I feel really REALLY let down by this game, doubly so as I preordered it, and a season pass. And bought an AMD R9 290X to play it on (the GFX were UNPLAYABLE on an AMD 6970 card) Will probably uninstall now, it is just not playable in any commercially reasonable sense of the word

Why anyone would believe they were telling the truth is a complete mystery, especially considering all the blatant lies we've been fed since MW2. (Remember how IWNet was promised to be "100% cheat/hack free")

Activision has a well known reputation for lying and scamming their customers in order to make a quick buck. Add on top of that the fact that Infinity Ward blatantly lied about their previous titles MW2 and MW3... Yeah

There were SO many warning signs that the PC version of Ghosts would be a complete disaster in every way. I am still shocked at how many people were naive enough to buy it.
